There arc rumors in the air that the An
archist snake in Chicago has. only been
scotched, not killed. Tho Anarchists are
known to be holding meetings at certain
halls, which are described as hot-beds oil
anarchy, in the Jefferson Addition to Chi.
cago, and privately elsewhere. At these
meetings their immediate object is reported
to be some sort OF relief or vengeance for
the condemned Anarchists. just what
this Is, is at present in doubt. The police
Of Chicago are keeping all their resorts
and their frequenters under close
surveillance, and 80 long 40 this
is the case no overt act o. well take place.
The knowledge that these miscreants have
mischief In their hearts 10 . long step in the
way Of preventing any deviltry being put
in practice. But it is q pleasant commen
tary on the respect for law and order in
this country that the house Of the Judge
who sentenced the seven condemned An.
archists has to be guarded by special
police to prevent apprehended danger from.
the friends OF these men. It now looks az
though bloody work may yet be accom-.
plished by these fends before they can be
persuaded to understand that their
theories are incompatible with the ideas OF
freedom established by the American Con-
stitutiOn,

In On address to the American Club n
Denver Last Monday evening, Frank N.
Pixley, editor OF the San Francisco Afso-
naut, said that Senator Stanford will in.

dom in this country with the pestilent doc
trines Of Anarchy, some restriction on
naturalization laws that would deny to .
man holding such heresies the privilege OF
voting for oficeholders here would DO de-
sirabla. But what examination to which
the applicant for naturalization could be
subjected would insure the rejection OF an
Anarchist ii hs wanted to become \ citisen7
The extremes to which political parties 60
in the consuming thirst for victory in cleo
tions is the obstacle in the way Of the en-
tire elimination OF the menace ~ American
institutions spoken oil. 1t is notorious
that the existing naturalization laws have
been evaded at election times and voters
manufactured by Wholesale out Of raw i'm

language OF the country they were being
naturalised il or having the least idea of
it's institutions. The penalty is severe

There is not the least doubt, and every
thinking man will admit it, that the time
has come when, in self deiense, the
American people must look more
strictly to the Glars Of immigrants who
come to these shores from other countries.
Already discrimination is made OF abso.

burden OF their support in other countries,
aud very properly. too. The honest
laborer who comes without q cent to Barn

country prosperity can any discrimina.
ton against such be made while our boast
remains that this land is open to the
oppressed Of all nations. But steps
should be taken to prevent the coming
hither OF dangerous a~gitators of the Most
stripe, the result OF whose advent is the
dissemination OF doctrines in which the
destruction Of law and order and the use
OF the dynamite bomb to enforce them are
cardinal principles. But since these men
are now here and their nests Of pestilence-
breeding theories are already established
in all the large centres of the country, it
only remains to deal with the danger in the
shortest, sharpest and most decisive way.
The police OF Chicago and other large
cities have them under su~rveillance, and
eternal vigilance is the price OF safety from
them as we'll as of freedom.

The Pacific Mutual Accident Insurance
Company. of California, have made q wise
selection in the appointment OF Messrs.
Mantle & Warren Of this city to be their
general agents for Montana. Idaho and
Utah. and our !ellow-townsmen are also to
be congratulated in being thus preferred.
The Pacific Mutual is an ol~d-established
life insurance company, and it is only
within the past three years hat they have
added the accident branch, but their policy
has been so wise and liberal that the
company has already taken the
very first rank in the accident line.
It is q commendable feature of the
new management that Messrs. Mantle
&JWarren are authorized to accept proofs
and pay losses right here at home. This
will do away with the ~vexatious delays
consequent upon having to send proofs to
far distant point and await the in.
and approval by some stranger
with the circumstances. This
arrangement practically makes Butte the
headquarters for the three Territories
named, and hence makes it q desira bic in
stitution in our midst. In the hands OF
Mantle & Warren, with F. w. Voogt as
manager, we predict a great success for the
Pacific Mutual Accident Company.

A pressing necessity is experienced in a
very populous neigbborhood for some
illumination at night. and as it 10 without
the city limits, it is within the province Of
those faithful conservators Of the public
veal. the County Commissioners, to grant
or withhold. The locality referred to lies
Immediately east OF the city limits and
north of Granite. There are q great many
miners employed at the Parrot and Ana.
conda mines who would also reap the
benefit at the dark hours in going to and
returning from work, as we'll as the deuizens
Of the closely populated section referred to.
The proposed location for the light would
be Parrot Knob, where it would shed It's

who have the power to confer this boon on
so large q portion OF community will
sec their way to being able to afford it.

Elsew here we publish in full the now lie1
law in which the Legislature at its special
session amended the bungling act OF tn.
preceding winter. It contains some i'm.
portant amendments by which lessons car
now make leases with the confident assur.
ance that their rights are unimpaired, no
matter how carelessly the lessee behaves.
Section s21, which defines who are entitled
to file q lien and how it shall be done, re.
mains unchanged save that the time within
which the lien must be fled is reduce from
ninety days to forty.fve. Section 1927
limits the lien to one acre if the land upon
which it is filed is outside any town or city
instead OF forty acres as in the previous
act, but ii in a town or city the whole lot
or lots is held liable. This is followed by
the clause which saves the lessor and is az
follows:
If the land belonged to the person who
caused said building constructed. altered
or repaired; but il such person owned less
than a fee simple estate in such land. then
only his interest is subject to such lien."
This is entirely satisfactory, so far az the
erection of buildings is concerned, and con-
dnes the liability Of the land to the liens
mentioned only to the interest in it of the
party contracting the obligation. The pro.
visions for priority in fllina liens remain
the same as before. The next amendment
is to section $40, and in it, by the inser-
ton OF the words mot ten
ants or lessees," the provisions OF
section 821 are confined to those who are
thereby defined as "owners or proprietors"
OF land to be attached for the purposes OF
the act. The clause formerly in
this section making "every con-
tractor, sub-contractors, architect,
builder, engineer, for man OF other per.
% having charge OF the construction. re.
pair or alteration in whole or in part Of
the aforesaid building, structure or i'm
provement' 'the agent of such owner or
proprietor" ls stricken out.
In amending the last section, however.
the Legislature repeated An error contained
in the act OF last winter. The amendments
then and nov made are to the Revised
Statutes. and in the amended section $40,
which is to take the place in the Revised
Statutes OF the previously existing section
$40, without reference to the act of last
winter or this fall, the words mentioned
in section one of this act" occur, which is
error and should read, mentioned in
section S21," which section specifies the
bulldog, structure or Improvement for
a lien may be filed. As far as thei
Statutes are concerned the sections
af any act making an amendment to
them cut no figure.
